The job situation

Typical - I had read that the VSO procedure takes at least 2 months to complete and, having heard nothing from them in 2 days I decided to not bother and accepted the Egypt job, taking the money and the easy option.

No regrets of course, but they've just got back to me with a nearly sure-fire opportunity to get shipped off to Africa, earn no money at all and ya know sacrifice myself for the good of my fellow man for no pay like some sort of hero.

D'oh!
